This is another movie that exhausts me physically and mentally. It's like finishing a long and intense love affair, which consumes too much energy and time, and withers like a flower, as if centuries have passed. Now I want to stop and reminisce about the stories that happened under the ancient eaves with mottled marks.
The story begins in the distant seventeenth century. There is a well-known luthier, Binigao. Because of his inescapable miss and love, he dyed an ancient violin red with the blood of his wife Anna, who died in childbirth. It should be a gift for a child who is about to be born, it has become a curse that entrusts all sorrow and embarrassment. It is no longer a thing, but a stunner. It is like a peerless beauty, a beauty and a disaster. It makes everyone crazy and trembling. It confirms the legend for centuries, and it is also a legend in itself.
An unusual violin casts a different life, and people who live in the dunya begin to experience a different journey because of it. The orphan Kaspar is known as the "prodigy", he would hold this exquisite and unique violin even when he sleeps. Although he did not know the story and experience of this violin for a hundred years, it just made him on the slender and tough strings. With ease, when Kaspar carefully covered it with a quilt, he acted softly as if to a caring relative, lover, or friend? He might even get sick without it. But he has not yet been able to witness the birth of another Mozart, and when facing the cold-faced prince, flattering subjects, and impatient master, this cute child who does not speak French finally fell in love because of heart palpitations. Next to his violin.
I admit that when the child played the first note, the music of this film had undoubtedly begun to conquer me. The violin's voice was soft and deep, sad and sad. Like its destiny and the story of each owner, foreseeing the three centuries of danger, weakness, disease, and death in this film.
The violinist Bu Feidi of the era is immersed in lust and ecstasy. The passionate temporary performance in that theater was just a process of indulgence. The endless sexual desire with his lover Victoria is the source of his inspiration. They learn from each other and rely on each other. Leaving the woman's body, Bu Feidi is like a waste person. Victoria, who traveled far to Russia to search for materials for writing, couldn't wait to return to Buffede. She overestimated herself. Without the physical and mental ties to Buffede, she would have nothing. But when she heard the fierce and melodious violin sound from the room, she went crazy. She knew that Bu Feidi could not play without a woman, but the gun she raised was not directed at the gypsy girl on the bed, but at the colorful and beautiful violin, which witnessed this reckless and unconventional violin. . It was this violin that robbed her lover. The endless lusts between Bu Feidi and women are just her substitutes. Those women have replaced her to complete the passionate intercourse with Bu Feidi. She is the one. The real third party.
If you think about it carefully, maybe the violin has always been Buffety's only true lover, and everything else is just an image, seemingly true and imaginary. The violin is the director and protagonist of this tragedy. She has witnessed the stories of destruction and betrayal, holding her breath and keeping her breath, and she can't stop. But Victoria still found her, and even wanted to destroy her. She angered a woman who couldn't help herself in love. So the violin got scars. Bu Feidi committed suicide.
The violin that came to China was three hundred years old, and its owner was replaced by a mother and daughter. It is a pity that the grown-up girl, Xiang Pei, did not have her courage. It was a crazy time, shallow, selfish, and everyone protected themselves. Different from the stories in the previous paragraphs, the first two centuries have mainly talked about the fetters and curses of the violin and people, but here is an era-the Cultural Revolution. The author actually doesn't like the story of that era. It feels embarrassing and ridiculous. But in a blink of an eye, if he was also born in that era, he might become a member of countless Red Guards with unclear heads. We can choose our own lives, but the times chose us first. Zhou Yuan, a music teacher who was criticized but still willing to take in the violin instead of Xiang Pei, died alone at home.
This violin seems to be connected with all the ominous and sufferings from the gestation period, and all those connected with her have suffered a miserable life. And she herself is gradually vicissitudes of life in the endless competition, possession, lingering and intimacy, and she has also accumulated more elegance and nobility due to the years. She reminds me of Wang Qiyao who walked out of the Shanghai alley in "Song of Everlasting Regret". She was the "Shanghai Third Miss" when she was young. She was immersed in the baptism and polishing of the years, and became a natural and beautiful jade when she was old. Self infiltrated into the blood and bones, unlike those mundane and shallow young girls, all gestures are full of charm. The same is true of this shocking violin dyed red with blood.
Not long after the film began, the old servant of the fortuneteller saw the future of the mistress, although it was metaphorical and euphemistic. She only said that the hostess Anna would have a long journey. But watching the entire film, it is not difficult to imagine that the prediction is both Anna's life and the future of the Red Violin. The violin is Anna! Binigao used his powerful and profound love to infuse the soul of this violin, allowing his wife's life to continue. Even though the violin’s life has been strayed, but I also feel the sincerity of Kaspar, the passion of Bu Feidi, and the ignorance of a great era of China. It is a person who has gone through the vicissitudes of life, toss and turns, only for the one who truly loves her. A place to stay.
However, everyone didn't understand that they thought they loved her and tried every means to get her. In fact, they were just finding suitable excuses for their own desires and self-interest. No one really understood her story, the suffering and sorrow she suffered, until the appraiser Mo Charlie appeared. So far, I can’t tell whether Mocharlie obtained the violin in the right way. He exchanged this gift for his daughter in a not bright way, perhaps also to end her centuries-long journey and give her one. Sunny future. The violin is born because of love, and it must continue because of love. Like the reincarnation of life, the beginning and the end.
Courage, the last card, the face of the card is reversed, foreseeing a new life. The life once engulfed by the whirlpool is finally calm again. Relatives, friends, enemies, lovers, life is therefore full and abundance. Bravery and persistence make us healthy, prosperous, and have a lifetime. As long as you are strong enough, peace will come, why not wait patiently?
